[PATCH v3 6/9] arm64: alternative: Add support for patching adrp instructions

Show all headers | View raw

adrp uses PC-relative address offset to a page (of 4K size) of
a symbol. If it appears in an alternative code patched in, we
should adjust the offset to reflect the address where it will
be run from. This patch adds support for fixing the offset
for adrp instructions.
